The definition and function of the thin area
In the manufacturing of lithium ion batteries, positive and negative pole coating is a very important process step. In the positive and negative pole coating, a thin area refers to the edge area of the active substance coated on the electrode. Its role is to increase the ratio of the active substance of the electrode sheet, improve the electrochemical performance of the electrode sheet, improve the energy density of the battery, the energy density of the battery The cycle life is also to solve the problem of the edge effect of the lithium battery. During the circular charging and discharge of lithium batteries, the active materials on the edge of the battery are often suffered from greater stress, resulting in the battery capacity attenuation and shortened life. Therefore, by thinning the edge of the battery, the impact of the edge effect on the battery performance can be reduced, and the cycle life and energy density of the battery can be improved. The formation of a thin zone has an important impact on the performance of the battery. The research and optimization of the thin zone is an important issue in the manufacturing of lithium -ion batteries.
the method and advantages and disadvantages of thin zone
- Mechanical thinning: refers to in the coating process, through roller and pressure, forming some protruding and depression on the surface of positive and negative poles, forming a gradient distribution structure. Low, but it cannot control the position and size of the thin zone, and it is easy to produce unevenness.
- Chemical thinness: refers to adding some specific chemicals to positive and negative electrodes, so that these chemical substances can reflect and generate local thin structures during the coating process. Compared with mechanical thinness, the advantage of chemical thinness is that the location and size of the thin -cut area can be accurately controlled, but the cost is needed to use specific chemicals, which is high.
the factors that affect the formation of thin zone
- The formation of a thin area is due to the common effect of a series of factors in the coating process. The design and material of the coating tool used in the coating process will affect the formation of the thin zone.
- Parameters such as coating speed, coating thickness, and solvent volatility in the coating process will also affect the formation of the thin area. 3. Factors such as the characteristics of the electrode film and the nature of the active substance will also affect the formation of the thin zone.
Considering these factors comprehensively, the formation of a thin area is a complex process, which needs to be studied and analyzed in depth.
